"""Class Definition Syntax.

@see: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

Python is an object oriented programming language.

Almost everything in Python is an object, with its properties and methods.

A Class is like an object constructor, or a "blueprint" for creating objects.

"""

def test_class_definition():

"""Class definition."""

# Class definitions, like function definitions (def statements) must be executed before they

# have any effect. (You could conceivably place a class definition in a branch of an if

# statement, or inside a function.)

class GreetingClass:

"""Example of the class definition

This class contains two public methods and doesn't contain constructor.

"""

name = 'user'

def say_hello(self):

"""Class method."""

# The self parameter is a reference to the class itself, and is used to access variables

# that belongs to the class. It does not have to be named self , you can call it

# whatever you like, but it has to be the first parameter of any function in the class.

return 'Hello ' + self.name

def say_goodbye(self):

"""Class method."""

return 'Goodbye ' + self.name

# When a class definition is entered, a new namespace is created, and used as the local scope —

# thus, all assignments to local variables go into this new namespace. In particular, function

# definitions bind the name of the new function here.

# Class instantiation uses function notation. Just pretend that the class object is a

# parameterless function that returns a new instance of the class. For example the following

# code will creates a new instance of the class and assigns this object to the local variable.

greeter = GreetingClass()

assert greeter.say_hello() == 'Hello user'

assert greeter.say_goodbye() == 'Goodbye user'
